March Madness is a great time and one of the best sport specticles all year round.  There is no better tournament college or pro better than the 65 teams that get to play every year.  Moreover one of the best things about the tournament is how we watch the teams and results unfold before us.  Before Larry Bird and Magic Johnson there really was no March Madness it was just another tournament that came at the end of College season that really the only ones that got excited were the players, alumni and those attending the games.

Now in 2009 March Madness is as big as the Super Bowl and every year countless hours are lost at work because employees and even bosses are hooked and cannot go an hour without getting some sort of live tournament update.  Well with the economy the way it is these days and employers cutting jobs left and right the last thing you need to do is get fired or laid off because you were caught watching the NCAA March Madness men or woman.  So if you are one of these people like me that are hooked to March Madness there are solutions for you.

One you can get a satellite these days and you can pay to see any game you want at any location and at any time.  No more CBS local coverage but nationwide so that you never miss a minute of your favorite team that is playing.  Second, that first one sounds expensive does it not, so another suggestion you can get a DVR or Tivo which many cable people provide these days with a few extra bucks and you can record live games and then go back and watch them at your leisure.  However many times that one guy or girl will blow it for you as you hear the score of the game you want to see and now you really do not want to watch because you already know what will happen.  I can’t stand spoilers and I’m sure many of you feel the same.

Solution, thank you internet which nowadays can be cheaper than actual cable or satellite and you can can do the same and watch any live game you want right now on the internet.  Through CBS Sportsline they provide all the games online and at your leisure for free right now.  Yesterday as always the local coverage on television was hauled for news and other temporary programming however I wanted to watch the Washington Huskies and the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Portland. I just got on the computer and was able to download for free the software I needed and within seconds I was watching the game.  I used my link from Facebook but even if you do not have that you still can just go straight to CBS Sportsline and you can do it straight from there.  We are in 2009 and if we want to watch something we can and it feels great.

Even thou this guy was not in the tournament I still love this dunk.  Thanks for stopping in today.

In case you missed it last night Real World featured a special and former Real World cast member.  Pedro the first openly gay and first ever to live on a television show diagnosed with HIV and the AIDS virus was the focus of the show.  Pedro a former cast member of Real World San Francisco which was one of the very first seasons is now going to be the focus of a new MTV movie.  The story of Pedro is now going public for millions for more to learn so that they can learn how he helped fight a deadly disease that took his life.  The movie is about his life , his diagnosis of HIV and then his unstoppable courage to talk to thousands of teenagers and youth to listen about safe sex.

Besides that huge part of the show there as always had to be some fighting and make up as well as Scott gets a little crazy when he decided to lock the bowls and dishes in the cabinet with a master lock that only he has the key for as he is now fed up with the ladies inability to clean up after themselves especially one person in particular and that is Katelynn.  Katelynn in return only wants to stir the pot more by doing her own childish way of revenge by taking the very precious pool balls for the billiards table that Scott and the boys are always playing. However the real fight was over the fact that Katelynn skipped out on Scott’s 24th birthday party because Katelynn had to go go go dance for a night club the same night for some needed cash.  In the end all is forgiven and Scott actually gives Katelynn 1,500 dollars for her to be able to stay in the house.  Scott you are a weird guy that is a little tightly wound but even that was a cool move whether planned out or not by the producers of Real World, it was a cool gesture that shows good heart and a big thumbs up from superdad.

Despite all of this the biggest news might be what we saw coming for another roommate, Mark who possibly might be going back to Iraq for active duty.  Want to watch it again here is a link if you need to watch again MTV always has full episodes of previous episodes, thanks MTV!

Yes the Donald is back and so are some interesting celebrities.  Scott Hamilton last night became the second victim to lead the men’s team although how can you lead a team with Dennis Rodman and Tom Green.  However Scott did bury himself with that small decision about his brand marketing with “EEE” when they were trying to make an comic book advertisement for Zappos.com.  Oh, and Clint Black does come off as an ass.

On the other hand the woman seem as thou they are off to a good start but there are too many “chiefs” as one Joan Rivers stated while in the board room.  Little Cardasian did pull a team together that at first looked as bad as the men’s team.

All in all the show is off to a great start and I enjoy the Sunday time slot but it was dragged out a little yesterday.  An hour of Donald a week is good enough for me, not two.  Tom Green a project manager next week, should be good as their seems to be a little bit of a disadvantage as Weddings seem to be the theme.  Should be another win for the woman and Tom may have to eat his own words. Tom might be gone next week so I put up some old Tom Green stuff if you care to watch.

David Letterman has been rocking all week long with U2.  What a blast! I have been catching up with the performances online and they are as always rocking you to a new tune.  The new album “No Line on the Horizon” is starting to grow on me and I will have to pick it up the next time I get to the store.  U2 one of those bands that just never goes away and that is a good thing.  People are saying this album is as good as “Achtung Baby” and we’ll have to see about that but remind everyone that loves U2 to check them out tonight and tomorrow on Dave.  Oh and Dave is pretty funny as well!  Always have loved Dave and hope he stays on as long as he wants.
